Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 163 Integrating Power
Inviting Shi Dongchu was to show his muscles thoroughly to Shi Dongchu. As for Li Zhongjiu, he was a by-product. Li You even ignored the word "executive" in his and Park Huichang's executive directors, and called him the director just like Li Zicheng.

Shi Dongchu and Ding Qing stood up, and then the other three followed suit. The four of them raised their glasses to signal to the guests, and the guests applauded them with all their might.

This is a representative of the Golden Gate Group.

"Then there's my great uncle, Li Zeyi," Li You bowed to Li Zeyi from a distance, "the current chairman of the Lihua Club, nim."

"Next to him is my very close aunt," Li You said with a smile, "and of course Miss Mingzhu from our Li family."

Everyone looked over and saw Yin Mingzhu sitting in her seat, subconsciously shrinking behind her mother Li Liuhua.

It is no secret here that Li Zeyi and Li Liuhua represent the Jeonju Li family, so they naturally received applause as well.

However, they don’t know that in Li You’s case, Li Zeyi represents the Jeonju Li family, and Li Liuhua represents Yin Jijun, who is Li You’s only military connection at this stage.

"The next person is someone you see on TV almost every day," Li You pointed over there with a smile, "Mayor Choi of our Seoul City!"

Next to Emperor Cui Chang was Chen Huarong, who looked unhappy. She forced a smile when she saw others looking at her.

Sitting at the table near Choi Changdi were three prosecutors, who collectively represented Lee Woo’s connections in both the official and prosecutorial circles.

Li You introduced Zhao Changzhi next, "and the senior prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office of Seoul. Zhao Changzhixi and I have established a good relationship a few years ago."

His words were meaningful, and Zhao Changzhi's face was full of smiles. He had not been happy in the past two years since he stood on the wrong side in the election.
But the team he was standing on at the time was that of Congressman Li Lianchang, who reminded him that Li You was a descendant of the Jeonju Lee family, and he couldn't just ignore the appearance. Even though he knew that Li You was a nobody from the Jeonju Lee family.

“And my two good friends who work in the Seoul Prosecutors’ Office, the two ministerial prosecutors.”

"Minister Park Tae-su and Minister Yang Dong-chul!"

The two had indeed been to such occasions before, but they were still a little uncomfortable being welcomed by so many important figures.

Li You gradually increased his speaking speed, "Everyone knows that the daughter of Hyunsung Daily and I have a close relationship, but it has never been made public before."

"Yes, Xianminxi is my girlfriend," he began to clap his hands, "and also welcome Xianmin's parents, Chairman Mou and his wife of Xiancheng Daily!"

Amid the thunderous applause, Mou Xianmin was sitting below in a daze.

Li You introduced the Jinmen in business, the Jeonju Lee family in family affiliation, Choi Changdi and three prosecutors who represented official power, and his own Hyunsung Daily who controlled public opinion.

Before I knew it, it was time. My man was the host introducing the guests. All the guests were important people. It seemed that this was what my dream had been.

"Of course there are also two of my good friends, Chen Daojun, the major shareholder of Miracle Company."

Li You watched Chen Daojun stand up, and said with a hint of meaning, "Daojun is my best friend, and from now on his affairs will be my affairs."

Naturally, no one took it seriously. They were wondering what this meant. Was Li You going to interfere in Shun Yang's inheritance?
Under Chen Yangzhe's conspiracy, Li You and Chen Daojun reached a cooperation although they did not say it out loud.

"And producer Lee Soo Man from SM Entertainment, which is the company that launched the most popular boy band right now. You may not know that I am a major shareholder of SM Entertainment."

Emperor Cui Chang below raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew that a brand new policy, or strategy, would be introduced soon.

Li You is really amazing that he bet on the right thing.

"In addition to the guests," Li You's face turned serious, "I would also like to introduce my subordinates, um. Employees?"

Most people knew Li You's previous identity well, and even if Li You deliberately let it slip, they listened quietly.

"People outside call them my confidants," Li You smiled, and the serious atmosphere eased a bit, "I really rely on them."

He introduced Cui Douri, Long Da and others who were present one by one, including his two secretaries.

The people under him sighed secretly, saying that Li You's subordinates were like an iron barrel and no one had ever infiltrated them. Who could infiltrate them when he treated his subordinates with such an attitude?

Li You was naturally very confident in this group of people. Even before they obtained the Dark Glory entry, these people were almost absolutely loyal.

"Douri, don't wipe your tears," Li You pointed at Cui Douri and teased Cui Douri who was wiping his eyes, "Be a real man."

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but this scene is what Cui Douri has always dreamed of. Li You always remembers the promise he made to him.

He was working for Han Jiangzhi at the time and had attended several mutual aid society meetings. Every time he introduced himself, his name was never remembered by those who thought they were powerful.

But now that his followers have introduced him to everyone, no one will ignore him.

Li You made him stop being a stray dog ​​on the roadside and let him truly enter the inner circle. Naturally, a man will die for his friend.

Politics, prosecution, business, gangs, families, media.

The hexagonal iron bucket force built around Li You was placed in front of everyone by him.

Shi Dongchu glanced at Li Zhongjiu, turned his head silently and took a sip of wine, Zhongjiu, you have lost completely.

After the introduction session, the banquet really began. Looking at the guests around chatting with each other, Li You smiled with satisfaction.

It is not enough to just have him as the center and branch out into several lines connecting his allies.

What Li You needs to do is to build a mutual aid association around him that is dozens of times larger, extend his tentacles into all walks of life, and create a truly indestructible and unassailable force.

"Vice President Nim," Zhao Changzhi came up to Li You with a smile, "Thanks to Vice President Nim, I am able to meet all of you today." He looked at Li You, who was now dressed in a neat suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The man in camouflage now has more power and status than him, the senior prosecutor.

What’s the use of being a senior prosecutor? You need a background to make a living.

No matter how big the Kinmen Group is, as the head of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office, he is qualified to compete with the Kinmen Group.

But Li You secretly established a relationship with the Jeonju Li family, and now it has been noticed by Councillor Li Lianchang.

Recently, the Li family in Quanzhou has been in a period of transition. Both the old and middle-aged generations have their own leaders, but the young generation has no outstanding figures.

Now it is clear that they want to support Li You. As long as Li You carries the name of the Quanzhou Li family, his descendants and his future power will bring protection and support to the Quanzhou Li family.
Just like Li Lianchang is taking the initiative to help Li You now, if he accepts this favor, he will naturally have to report to him in the future, and Li You is also aware of this.

If it weren't for Li Lianchang's high position and the sensitive nature of this period, Councillor Li would have come here in person tonight.

Letting Zhao Changzhi come was to express Li Lianchang's attitude. Zhao Changzhi, who originally stood on Li Lianchang's side, naturally could not refuse Li Lianchang's request.

"You're welcome, Chief Prosecutor Zhao," Li You raised his glass to him, "We will need Chief Prosecutor Zhao's support in the future."

Zhao Changzhi nodded, his face a little doubtful, "Vice President Nim, you also know that I stand on the side of Councillor Li."

He glanced at Park Tae-soo and Yang Dong-chul who were not far away, "I remember they were following Han Jiangzhi at the time. They should be prosecutors who are on the side of the current commander-in-chief. Is it really okay?"

Li You smiled and waved his hand, "Prosecutor Park and Prosecutor Yang are both my close 'friends'. We won't become enemies because of this."

"Besides," Li You looked around, "I believe that every one of my guests is very tight-lipped. No one will reveal what happened tonight. Is Chief Prosecutor Zhao right?"

"Yes," Zhao Changzhi smiled awkwardly. He could hear what Li You meant by reminding him, "I just wonder if Vice President Nim has any friends who haven't come today?"

"Yes," Li You nodded, "Prosecutor Zhao knows him, Junmo brother."

Zhao Changzhi smiled on his face, but he didn't agree in his heart. He didn't believe that Li You didn't understand what he meant. It was obvious that there were some powerful people who hadn't come yet.

Li Youzhen really invited Park Junmo, but Park Junmo just wanted to live a quiet life now and didn't want to get involved.

"Daojun told me that President Chen wanted to come over, but unfortunately he had something to do tonight and couldn't come."

"Chairman Chen?" Zhao Changzhi reacted for a moment before he remembered that it was Chen Yangzhe from Shunyang, and then he smiled awkwardly.

Even if Chen Yangzhe came tonight, he would not dare to approach him and talk to him. Now, except for those prosecutors who have been on Shunyang's side for a long time and cannot get away, there are no new prosecutors who have joined Shunyang.

There is no way. Compared with Daying Group and Tianxia Group, Shunyang is becoming weaker and weaker, and the prosecutors under it are becoming less and less powerful.

"Chief Prosecutor Zhao," Li You smiled and pointed at Park Tae-soo, "We just mentioned Tae-soo. I also want to ask him if he has a chance to be promoted to deputy director recently."

"Deputy Minister?" Zhao Changzhi laughed bitterly. "Not to mention that he has been in the position of Minister Prosecutor for too short a time and does not have enough experience."

"The main reason is that positions in the Seoul Prosecutors' Office are so one-size-fits-all. Without the old staff there won't be room for new staff."

"When Han Jiangzhi fell, the Minister of Justice immediately promoted another senior prosecutor."

Zhao Changzhi thought for a moment, "But isn't the vice president in charge of Kinmen Real Estate now? I can help him transfer to the Eighth Criminal Division, specifically responsible for architecture, construction, and real estate matters."

Li You looked at him with a smile. Although the name of this department is at the back, it is actually a powerful department. However, its power is similar to that of the department that Park Tae-soo is in now.

"Does the Attorney General have any other departments to recommend?"

"For example, the General Affairs Department?"

The Minister of General Affairs is the first person under the Deputy Minister. The General Affairs Department belongs to the Procuratorial Administrative Affairs Department, and the others belong to the Procuratorial Business Department.

Zhao Changzhi thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to transfer personnel. After all, the current head of the General Affairs Department is a junior I know well. But asking him to give up his position will cost me something."

"That's settled then," Li You raised his glass, "Prosecutor Park will be transferred to the General Affairs Department, and Prosecutor Yang will be transferred to the Criminal Division 8."

Zhao Changzhi smiled and nodded, clinking glasses with Li You, "I will persuade my junior later."

"Don't worry, Attorney General. The compensation will be sufficient."

The banquet ended successfully shortly after their conversation, and many people were connected, which was exactly what Li You wanted to see.

After standing at the door to see off Mou Zhengxiong's family who were the last to leave, Li You strode back to the banquet hall. Only then did his men inside eat and drink freely.

"How do you feel?" Li You looked at them with a smile.

"It feels just like that," Cui Douri stood up while chewing, swallowed a few times and then said, "Now I realize that the things I dreamed of before are not so wonderful."

"That's because there will be better things in the future," Li You patted him, "Tomorrow I will take Zheng Zaizhong's team on a long journey, so you better take good care of the house."

"Don't worry, big brother!" Cui Douri grinned, "We haven't forgotten our roots."

"What do you say, brothers?"

Jeon Jae-jun, Seo Jong-ryul and others who were scattered not far away also grinned.
